Bespoke IT software tool provides optimal resource deployment information
24th March 2011
The senior management team instructed the Rudolph and Hellmann Automotive systems development project team to provide them with a software tool which could provide robust logistics resource guidance on an hour-by-hour scale to all staff, through an Intranet portal.
As well as being an operational management tool, the system is also a simulation tool which can provide indicative resource requirements from logistics throughput data. With detailed activity timings within the software tool, time and motion information was held alongside historical operational data captured on an hour-by-hour basis.
The new system is now in use on a daily basis and integrates several data streams into a single intranet web portal, enabling access and visibility on a variety of near realtime activity to senior managers. This critical management and operational planning tool, provides detailed resourcing figures and the ability to compile costings. The system is being developed further to assist the business to move forward more effectively.
